American living in China. I like photography, music, video games and books.
杭州,吴山景区-城隍阁景区
View of the Hangzhou city guardian's scenic pavilion from the outside and a lookout tower to the south. Very cool building and you can get a great view of the city from it. There's a teahouse inside as well.

杭州,西湖西影停
From the Southeast side of West Lake in Hangzhou, near the pavilion looking at Leifang Pagoda. Sadly it was not sunset yet.

If I edit photos I often like to put borders around them.

The pavilion on top of the gate. Has a cafe inside. It looked quite nice but I wanted to go further up the hill first.

Incredible cat on top of Yu Shan in Changshu. Perhaps the best stray #cat I've ever ran into. 5 out of 5. If you go there, don't be annoying to it. Maybe give it something nice.

Ever see a cool sunset and wish the things near the horizon were prettier for the photo? That's why I will be reincarnated as a bug 1000 times after I waste this human life.

Saw a goose today. It's a black swan. But goose is a funnier word and I like to say it more.

Zhenjiang West River Crossing Ancient

Very romantic place. Many oldtown tourist locations but this was one of my favorite that I've seen so far.

Just finished a set of books I had been reading thru very slowly for years. A biography of Mao Zedong "The Morning Deluge" and "Wind in the Tower" by Han Suyin. Originally published in the 70s before Mao died. The second volume I could only find on pdf.

The clouds were particularly beautiful this week, unfortunately it was after a typhoon had swept through and had done quite some damage to the parks.

Oh yeah, that time I lost my mind because this random museum piece in this small city was using a functional xbox one kinect, but my friend didn't understand why. Maybe I also don't understand why. It was for some AR piece where it tries to project traditional clothing over you (didnt work well)

I need more cinnamon tbh, not sure this is enough.

I think the scale and grandeur of some Buddhist temples still really surprises me, even in smaller cities like this. People told me this was modest sized. I remember the sky was so beautiful this day with big bright rays of sunlight coming through the clouds.

This city has some pretty sunsets. I keep looking back through my albums and I'm glad I got these. From earlier in Autumn.

On a trail somewhere near Taihu in Wuxi. Sometime around National Day.

Part of this park also had paths under this big array of power lines. I actually love how power lines change a skyline, idk why

When I did this I felt like there should have been a rewarding "ding" sound and mysterious chest should have appeared nearby. I probably should have lined it up between their necks. I'm terrible at this game.

Dong Lushan
This is maybe an hour south of Nanjing. Beautiful hike around the hills surrounding before coming back to this temple. This one is famous for a large white Buddha head.

I often can't decide which photo of a subject is better tbh. If a site gives me the option to post unlimited photos I would probably just post them all and let the viewer decide. I'm too lazy for that.
